To bid or not to bid....ESTATE AUCTION.

 My friend Betsy loves to go to auctions.   So when she asked me last week if I wanted to go with her on Saturday, I said yes.   My plan was to go along for the ride and maybe I would get one or two things.  I vowed not to bring home ANY furniture.  The sewing table on top of the van is proof that I failed there.  Still, most of the stuff is Betsy's and we would have had more if I hadn't drug her away from  the free piles at the close of the auction.  It took us almost two hours to load up the car.   But we got it all in.  She can pack and consolidate, yes she can.
 Next posting.  The surprise, inside.

Auction

Today I went over to an auction with my good friend.   We were chasing a 221"Featherlight" at an estate auction.   In truth,  it was a later model, white , Feather weight and it went for way too much money.  I never even had a chance to bid.  A "wheeler dealer" was fighting it out with a local woman who really, really, wanted it.  She got it.   And Betsy and I got a van load of stuff, but no sewing machines.   This could be the start of something new and dangerous.  Auction mania.
